You see a photo and you just wish you can go to that place at that very moment. I saw this photo and it just looked so serene. I wish I could escape for a few days for some reading, reflecting and relaxation. Take me there now…

Hello. I’ve missed you. I’ve been incredibly busy with my 9-5 and also working on some amazing projects on my own. I thought I would share one of the them with you.

backstage at Rodarte
The word for the look of the Rodarte 2016 Fall Fashion collection is ethereal. I personally think the backstage scene is more interesting than the Runway show. I love that these backstage photos show you the fashion behind-the-scenes in a cool and edgy way. Fashion, Hair, makeup…everything was on point. Here is a glimpse of the 2016 Fall Rodarte collection…
ps…sorry I’ve been a little quiet on the blog. Life has been extremely busy, but I missed you dearly.
Year of the Monkey
Gong Hey Fat Choy. This means Happy New Year (Cantonese). Chinese New Year officially starts on February 8, 2016 and ends January 27, 2017. The monkey is the 9th animal of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac cycle.
If you are a monkey?
You are characterized as lively, quick-witted, curious, innovative and mischievous, but it is also believed to be one of the most unlucky years in the Chinese calendar. The general image of people in this zodiac sign is of always being smart, clever and intelligent, especially in their career and wealth.
In addition, their gentleness and honesty bring them an everlasting love life. Although they were born with enviable skills, they still have several shortcomings, such as an impetuous temper and a tendency to look down upon others.
